Recently I have been getting this strange popup about protected storage
from Windows Live Messenger, which did now allow me to login. It just
hanged at the login process. So I thought it was a Live Messenger
problem and just stuck to Pidgin. Now uTorrent is doing it every time I
launch it, and Google Chrome is now doing it on rare occasions. Is there
anyway to fix this or something because its spreading and getting very
annoying. I have attached the image (used Thunderbird to post this) as
well as linking the image from Imageshack in case the attachment doesn't
work. First time ever posting to a newsgroup so hopefully this all shows
up right.
They all look like that and all have random Chinese characters in there,
which I assume its trying ot read some kind of data as text which
results in random Chinese characters.
Any help to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone, please, this is getting very ridiculous. I have tried everything
thats been posted online (which is almost nothing) and it hasn't worked.
Anything to get me going in some direction would be very helpful.

What is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean,
what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?
Its clean. I use Spybot Search & Destroy along with Lavasoft Ad-aware or
the spyware/malware, and then i have Avira constantly running. Avira
Anti-virus premium edition. Currently the highest rated anti-virus.

Then I'm sorry but I don't know what's causing it. The only thing I can
suggest is that you figure out what changed between the time you didn't get
the error and the time you did. If this was very recent, a System Restore
might be a good next step.
Haha, its fine. At least you tried. Thanks for the attempt. And thats
the thing, nothing happened. I just left my computer on overnight, next
day I rebooted, and it started. And i had not installed or did anything
since like 3 days prior, and ive had many restarts since then till the
error happens. So im just clueless. I wish it didn't cost $60 to talk to
a microsoft support person directly.
